Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system in which the dopamine-producing nerve cells in the brain's substantia nigra gradually deteriorate. It is the second most common progressive neurological disease after Alzheimer's disease. In Finland, about 14,000–18,000 people have Parkinson's disease. The disease most commonly begins after the age of 60, although younger people can also be affected.
